Just when it started to get boring... Just kidding. I really respect Senator Biden for putting this out there and am glad that Obama's comments on it being a struggle for families. Makes me respect them a little more... and goes to show that you don't have to be republican (or vote it) to be pro-life. And even if you are pro-life it goes to show that we do not have to force our views on anyone.
In the interview Sunday, Mr. Biden tried to walk the line between the staunch abortion-rights advocates in his party and his own religious beliefs. While he said he did not often talk about his faith, he said of those who disagree with him: “They believe in their faith and they believe in human life, and they have differing views as to when life — I’m prepared as a matter of faith to accept that life begins at the moment of conception.”Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, was also questioned about his views, on the ABC News program “This Week.” Last month, in an interview with the Rev. Rick Warren at the Saddleback Church in California, Mr. Obama skirted a question about when life begins, saying that determining such a thing was “above my pay grade.” On ABC on Sunday, Mr. Obama characterized his response then as a little “too flip,” adding, “All I meant to communicate was that I don’t presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions.
“What I do know is that abortion is a moral issue,” Mr. Obama continued, “that it’s one that families struggle with all the time, and that in wrestling with those issues, I don’t think that the government criminalizing the choices that families make is the best answer for reducing abortions. I think the better answer — and this was reflected in the Democratic platform — is to figure out, how do we make sure that young mothers, or women who have a pregnancy that’s unexpected or difficult, have the kind of support they need to make a whole range of choices, including adoption and keeping the child.”
Sorry for the political streak all... but I really cannot help myself. It's kind of the only interesting thing going on. That is if you don't call learning 30 bugs that cause diarrhea fun. :)
On that note, but this time next week I will be able to diagnosis your bacterial infection based on what type of diarrhea you have, if you are, you know, ever interested.
